CHARLOTTE, N.C. -
Freshman outside hitter Gabriella Horvath was named the CRONS Brand Big South Volleyball Freshman of the Week, the league announced on Monday. The honor is Horvath’s second weekly award of the season after being named the Choice Hotels Big South Volleyball Player of the Week on Oct. 1.
